Watch the video for the rings in action, and with a videoinstructables!

Step 1: Creating the Ring.

Now, creating the ring is probably the hardest part of the whole instructable.

How you end up doing it is up to you.My way of doing it was to ask my friend over at his factory, and borrowing one of his rolling-machines.Otherwise you could take a metalbucket and shred the sides on it. But beware that you don't want a ring that is too "loose" .. or shaky, so it vibrates too much and could break. Which would be a disaster.

Or hand-bend one like I did with my prototype.

The measurements you have to take into consideration is

Minimum innerdiameter (outside of the brakeshield)

Maximum outer diameter (inside of the rim)

Anything too big or too small and it won't fit.

If you only have big rims, you might want to make the ring bigger and closer to the rim, makes the lighting look more awesome. (Pro Tip)

The Brackets are possibly the most simple things I've ever done.Bought an aluminium-slate, sheet, or whatever you call it, then cutting it into the desired lenghts.Since it's aluminium it won't rust...

Step 2: Preparing and Gluing LED's

When your rings are at the desired size, you go out and check behind the brakeshield where you can put the brackets on.

Since no carmodel is the same, i'm afraid there are no universal measurements here.So sleeve up your shirt and get into the dirt.You want to make sure that you get brackets all around the rings somewhat, so it doesn't shake too much. Preferrably nothing.

Then you coat your rings in a protective paint. (OR glue the LED's on first then shower it in coats of clearcoats)Then glue the LED's on. You might have to sand off some paint to get a good rough surface to glue on.If you have possibillity, then you can coat the entire ring in clear-epoxi to protect it alot more than clearcoat-paint.Let the Epoxi and paint cure overnight to make sure nothing moves when you're about to install them the next day.

As you can see one of my strips malfunctioned AFTER i glued it on.So I had to use a dremel to get through the epoxi, fix the broken connector, then glue it back together again.

Step 3: Installing the Rings.

Here's a tricky part.

When you put the rings on, you don't want it to be too snug on the brakeheads, some brakes don't like anything on them and will affect the performance of the brakes negatively.

After that being said:

When you install the rings, you (most of the times) cannot remove the brake-disc or the head itself without removing the led-ring first.

So you will have to make do with the little space you've got. (watch the video)To screw it in place.

Then you pull all the wires through to where you have your led-controller, switches and whatnot.

Make sure you fasten these down properly.You do not want any loose wires, but on the other hand you don't want them too stuck either.Since they need to move around a little bit when your car flexes

Then you put the tyres back on. And you are done!

Step 4: Will They Stay On?

If you actually have used common sense, and common knowledge when you built it and installed it, you would have gotten the feeling that they won't come off.

I've taken my car to a racetrack and pushed it to the limit and the rings and Led's managed just fine.

If you have any questions, as I might have been unclear on any step. Let me know and i'll answer as good as I might possibly do.
